Ballet Allonge'
Ballet Allonge was formed in 2007. Students are invited to participate in this pre-professional company. The three levels, Petite, Junior and Senior, are designed to help the serious ballet student to grow into a mature ballet dancer who will audition for not only summer programs, but for professional ballet companies as they move through the stages of training. These students have traveled to train with some phenomenal teachers through the Youth America Grand Prix program! We also bring in Ballet Master Teachers regularly for our students to experience those teachers. Russian Balelt Master Valery Lantratov has come to Generations 5 times as he has toured the US. If you are serious about your ballet training, we encourage you to participate in this outstanding program at Generations!!
Mentors...
I love that you use the older girls as big sis/mentors for the younger girls. The older girls set a positive example and are responsible girls who handle themselves very well.
Favorite thing as a parent...
My favorite thing as a parent about Generations is that you value and teach each girl as an important person, not just a number or one of many dancers in your studio. I truly appreciate how you hold the girls to task, hold them accountable, and make them work hard but you do it in a loving and kind way. Your values as Christians really show through and we love that! I can't think of a better way for my daughter to spend her time. She is learning dance, but also learning valuable life lessons. I had been meaning to send you a note after the Mason competition about this. It was our first experience in a competition and I cannot tell you how impressed I was with our dancers and your choice of costumes, appropriate choreography, and rules of conduct. I was completely shocked to see how some of the other dance studios had their girls dressed, the dance moves they used, and their attire when walking around the hallway. It was quite a contrast to Generations dancers. It made me so happy as a parent. I truly want you to know how much I appreciate you! I will support Rachel dancing with you as much and as long as she desires! You are helping to raise great kids.
Absolutely fantastic place to send your children to learn dance! Very well organized programs for all ages. Our oldest daughter has been going here for a few years and every instructor has been very caring and talented. Can't wait to see our next daughter join in!
